NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY | Notes and Comments Humpty Dumpty and the Wall Most people are able to recall from out the past the little nursery rhyme, Hump- ty Dumpty. For those who can't the gist of the verse is that a very pleased Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. This was a very foolish thing to do for Humpty was an egy. As long as he sat there and did nothing all was well. But alas, Humpty's history was short and sad. He fell off the wall. He broke in pieces and nothing could put 'him together again. The East Germans haven't been sitting on a wall. They have heen sitting behind one. When they first put it up, they were very well pleased with themselves. They had stolen a march on the West and un- believably had gotten away with it. This, they concluded, only served to prove how weak the West really was. All they had to do now was to sit behind the wall and wait for the West to fall to pieces. Which meant of course that West Berlin would fall into their hands. But walls are dan- gerous things as Humpty so sadly proved and the Kast German wall is rapidly be- coming a nightmare for the East German government. The Straight and Narrow It was a fortunate thing for this country that neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals were able to win a clear majority in the election. Both parties have been shocked into a new consciousness of the need for responsible government. For the past ten years Canada has heen riding the crest of the American business hoom. Now that the boom has broken, we are being forced to take a good look at the position we are in. It isn't good. For many years we have been living bhe- yond our means. The government in power has been resorting to deficit bud- gets to maintain a programme of expan- sion and development which it felt the people wanted. That we could not afford it seemed to bother no one except Mr. Coyne. The government got rid of him when he refused to go along with their policies. The day of reckoning has already come for the Conservatives, In the 1958 elec- tion they were returned to power with the largest majority any government in Can- ada ever had. There was opportunity to plan and to carry out plans. But in the past four years the Conservatives lulled into a dangerous complacency by their overwhelming popularity spent and spent It advertises to the world that East Germany is a vast prison. It is a constant reminder to the Fast Germans that they ave hostages held in bondage to a red re- gime. In the eyes of the world the wall has he- come a symbol of hatred and inhumanity, It is one thing for us in the West to talk about an Iron curtain; it is quite an- other to actually see a wall built by Com- munists to keep its people in. Our propagandists should he forever grateful that the rulers of East Germany were stupid enough not to foresee the natural consequences of building a wall. Walls have never been of much use except around penitentiaries . . . ast Germany is too big and has too many people to make it a successful penitentiary. If the rulers of Fast Germany want to avoid the fate of 4 Humpty Dumpty they had Petter start tearing down the wall before the people tear it down for them. If that happens, the Communist pieces in Fast "Germany will be hard to put together again, N and spent. The deficits gradually accu- mulated until the country was into the red for over three billions in less than five years. No wonder foreign investors Jost faith in the soundness of our economy. When it became clear that our labour and management was tied hand and foot to the American inflationary boom; when it be- came obvious that our government was un- willing to take the necessary steps to bal- ance our budget, the trickle of capital out of the country swelled to a flood and the run on Canadian currency drove our dol- lar down and down. In the next crucial year, the members of parliament are either going to face problems and do something constructive "about them or the Canadian people are in for a bad time of it economically. None of the parties want another elec- tion just yet, The Liberals will support the conservatives to keep the tempera- mental Socreds in the background. To- gether, the two major parties can give us really good government if they will put the problems of the country first and their own advantages second. The forthcoming year could go a long way towards helping our politicians mature. The challenge is i clear one. Time will tell whether they are made of the stuff to meet it. ., they feel that they are not good District Doings ONTARIO COUNTY POPULATION NEAR 73,000 The total population of Ontario County, exclusive of the city of Osh- awaw, is 72,984 according to figures compiled -by the various local assess- ors in the county, The poulation and municipalities which go to make up Ontario County are-compiled for the use of the county assessment department. .__The largest municipality in Ontario County is the Township of Pickering, with more than 70,000 acres and a population of nearly 19,000.

Councillor Russ Taylor, who intro- duced the recommendation in a re- port from the advisory committee, ex- plained there would not be individual liens against the properties, Rather, a list would be filed with the registry office, so that no property transaction could be carried out until arrears were cleared. He reported that for 1960 and 1961 there was still an amount of $113,489 in arrears. 'He suggested this was an excessive sum to be permitted. Mayor Joseph Holtom indicated that he felt such a move by council would be unpopular, and too severe. He asked Mr. Taylor to have the town clerk-treasurer, W. Budd Bates, set -up-a-collection system for- these arrears in the next 60 days. "After that you might consider more drastic action", he safd. ---~He said the town -clerk was --now- tax collector. "In the past year there has been a great deal of staff or ganization in the town office, and perhaps not enough time had been devoted to collection of tax arrears," he said, NEARLY 62,000 IN YORK COUNTY TAKE ORAL POLIO VACCINE There were 61,908 persons, or 54% of the total population in York County who received a first dose of Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine during May, according to a report given to the Board of Health by the Medical Offi- cer, Dr. Robert M. King, at the last meeting of the Board. ' Almost all elementary and second- ary school students received vaccine, or 93% of the ehrollment in elemen- tary 'schools; and 83% of - the enroll= ment in secondary schools. A total of 17,328 infants and pre-school aged children received the cherry-flavoured pleasant tasting vaccine, or approxim- ately 60% of the estimated numbers of this age group in the population. The vaccine was well received by the younger generation and made a- vailable in every school in the County during - school hours, Pre-school children and adults were able to get the vaccine at any one of 41 evening clinics spread across the County. Clipped Comments CANADA'S POPULATION Latest Population estimate of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics is that there were 18,608,000 people in Can- ada at April 1. This represents a gain" from June 1, 1961, of about 270,000, most of whom were in Ont- ario and Quebec. Population of the Maritime Provinces, Manitoba and Saskatchewan was virtually station. | ary. Alberta and British Columbia showed gains but these were less im- pressive than those registered jn the central provinces; -- Natural increase figures for the period and immigration figures added to the June, 1961, total:of 18,238,247. would give a population of 18,625,946 for April 1, 1962, or 17,946 more than the official estimate. This suggests that there was a loss of nearly 18,000 persons through migration, princi- pally to the U.S. That loss is seri- ous, for-as usual it includes many highly skilled and professional men who are seeking to better themselves by going abroad. If the rumors of reductions in U.S. income taxes should be fulfilled, emigration to that country from Canada might well in- crease. This loss of the highly skilled and professionally trained men to Canada is not wholly offset by immigration. Even when people of equal skills enter the country, they may take a consider- able time to become established, be- cause of their unfamiliarity with Tan- guage, methods and customs in Can- ada. It may also be taken for granted that the immigration figures include many persons of inferior education and training to those who have left, so that the net loss to Canada is more than what is reevaled by a mere counting of heads. Government Policies should con- tinue to be such as would attract im- migrants to Canada, but more needs to be done to keep Canadians at home, This requires positive policies of tax reduction and business expansion, which in turn require a curb on gov- ernment spending at all levels, ~The Letter Review THE STAR EDITORIAL AGE First Round was a Good One * 9 ~ Says Norman Cafik Among the after-election parties held across Canada on Monday, June 5 success; and not one person present 18th, the gathering at the home of (Showed the slightest doubt that next | Liberal Norman Cafik showed a not- More supporters [able atmosphere of confidence, I than 200. workers and time he would make it.

Where will you ever find so many considerate and loving souls? What a-wealth of -loves there is in the eyes of our friends and what deep feelings are embedded there! How shall we ever forget Sunday, {June 24th! What wonderful congre- gations there were at Prospect, Man- chester and Scugog! The children did not. go to their classes at Prospect, and hpw well the Choir sang! The reception and Confirmation of mem- 'hers was most impressive. The fol- lowing were peceived into full mem- bership at Prospect: Barbara Holt- f hy, Aldon Smith, Gordon Vernon, Re- ! verley Vernon, Margaret Vernon and David Webster. At Manchester we received into membership Eunice and I Susan Roach. Someday we shall have a large number come into the Chyreh. The many flowers helped so much to gog. Chairs and benches had to be brought in. The following were re- ceived into membership: - Patricia Al- dred, Mary Cannon, Janis Carter, Kar- en-- Carter, Beverley Eden, Linda Heayn, Jane Innes, Robert Prentice, and Kenneth Wilson; also Mrs. Robert Cawker on transfer certificate. There was no farewell Sermon. The theme was "What does joining the Chureh mean?" and the text "Come ve after me, and I will-make you to become fishers of men". In the in- { troduction the Minister said: "Many | hesitate to join the Church, because ! enough, or that there is no need be- cause they are as good as those who belong to the Church, Neither of these things should have much bear- ing upon this great forward step. The whole teaching of the Bible points to the weakness and ineffectiveness of man to save himself. However good his intentions may be, there is no guarantee that when the time comes, that he will not do the very opposite of that which he had planned. "When we would do good, evil is present". And then it is rather futile to mea- sure ourselves by the standards of others, All have sinned and come { short! It is rather remarkable that { eleven out of twelve justified Jesus' create the right atmosphere at Scu-| you have done; for myself, and on hehalf of my wife aid my mother, may I assure you of our deepest gratitude I only hope you are not too disap- Cbointed in me" Here he was inter- rupted. by cries of "No, Nao", and "Were all set to go again," In conclusion, Norman said, "This caompadgn was only the first round -- it has been good, clean one. When we ret the signal for round two, we shall come out fighting; with help we shall win." The majority of persons there stated their conviction that the next cam. | paign would see a good working Lib.' ernl-majority in the House of Com- mons; and that Mr. Cafik would win this Riding for the Liberals. Too, all expressed a determination to work even harder toward that end. Blackstock All units of the U.C.W. met during the week--No. 1 at Mrs. L. Thomp- | son's.

That is one of the greatest signs that life is essentially. spivitunl. Ninety one per cent suc- 'ceeded. Only 8% per cent proved a failure. Never would they have suc- ceeded without Jesus. We need the fellowship with Christ, and He needs us. He is standing outside our lives "waiting to enter. To be a follower of Jesus does not necessarily entail com- | plete knowledge of the Bible and The- ology. It entails the getting of the spirit of the Master, as we have fel- lowship with Him and with each other. No one "really takes Jesus seriously | and ignores the Church which He loved so much! Joining the Church' must mean that you have become con- nected with the Dynamo of Power and Light. We take the vow to keep God's Holy will and commandments -- to walk in the same all the days of our lives. These must involve also--at- tendance at public worship, keeping informed about the work of the Church, rendering service to the Church whenever that service is need- ed, supporting the Church by our prayers and also money, sharing our problems with the Minister". And then in conclusion--*"Let all who have the welfare of God, present themselves for membership in His Church. You will belong not to a Service Club or Lodge, but to the very Body of our Lord Jesus, The Church ig His Visi- ble Body in the World", One last word of thanks to the Port Perry Star for their wonderful co- operation in carrying these messages to you weeek by week, We hope this column will be continued.
